How are we feeling: A Severance Analysis

We create a little sentiment profile for each episode, binning them in three minute increments and calculating the AFINN average sentiment score in each.

This analysis was made possible by the mdr R package, which used data originally compiled by the Severance wiki. Here, we create a little sentiment profile for each episode, binning them in three minute increments and calculating the AFINN average sentiment score in each.

library(mdr)
library(tidyverse)

df <- transcripts |>
  mutate(timestamp_seconds = as.numeric(timestamp), 
         bin = floor(timestamp_seconds / 180) * 180) |>
  left_join(episodes, by = c("season", "episode"))

df |>
  mutate(id = glue::glue("Season {season} Episode {episode}\nWritten by: {writer}")) |>
  unnest_tokens(word, dialogue) |>
  inner_join(get_sentiments("afinn"), by = "word") |>
  group_by(id, bin) |>
  summarise(sentiment = mean(value)) |>
  ggplot(aes(x = bin, y = sentiment, fill = sentiment > 0)) +

    legend.position = "none",
    panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
    panel.grid.major = element_blank())
